Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13 inch baking pan. Slice zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. Sprinkle slices lightly with salt; set aside to drain in a colander. To prepare the vegetarian meat sauce, cook and stir ground vegetarian beef and black pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Add in green pepper and onion; cook and stir until vegetarian meat is no longer pink. Stir in tomato paste, parsley,tomato sauce, wine, basil, and oregano, adding a small amount of hot water if sauce is too thick. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, stir egg, ricotta, and parsley together in a bowl until well combined. To assemble lasagna, spread 1/2 of the vegetarian meat sauce into the bottom of prepared pan. Then layer 1/2 the zucchini slices, 1/2 the ricotta mixture, all of the spinach, followed by all of the mushrooms, then 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat by layering the remaining vegetarian meat sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella. Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over the top; cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil; raise oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.Enjoy!
